From no-multilib to multilib...

When I installed a new machine I chose the amd64 no-multilib profile and was happy
so far. The only thing that I missed a few times was acroread. But now I discovered
that one external program needs 32bit libs, and as I need to use that quite a bit
I have to convert this system.

Unfortunately, emerging gcc and glibc with multilib support appears to be a circular
dependency. (With gcc I get errors about a missing gnu/stubs-32.h and if I copy
the related files to my system from somewhere else, it only finds incompatible libc.*
files when linking. glibc in turn does not find a working preprocessor...)

Is there a guide how to do from no-multilib to multilib somewhere or is it impossible
and I have to install afresh?

Thanks in advance for any hints,
Peter.
